by Stephen King
Stephen King’s Carrie follows Carrie White, a socially isolated teenager whose life is divided between cruelty at school and religious fanaticism at home. Her classmates treat her as an easy target, and her mother’s rigid beliefs leave little room for trust or ordinary adolescent experience. After Carrie’s first period becomes the occasion for public humiliation in the school showers, the hostility surrounding her grows more dangerous.
Carrie possesses a secret ability to move objects with her mind. Doors can lock and candles can fall without her touching them, making telekinesis both a source of power and another burden she must conceal. A sudden gesture of kindness gives her hope that she might finally take part in a normal social life. That hope remains fragile because the same classmates who have tormented her are capable of turning acceptance into another form of punishment.
An unexpectedly vicious prank transforms Carrie’s suppressed gift into a weapon with consequences for the whole town of Chamberlain, Maine. The novel connects supernatural horror to recognizable experiences of bullying, shame, family control, and the desire to belong. Carrie, King’s debut novel, frames its terror around what happens when sustained cruelty meets a power that can no longer be contained.
